Sealand

Share definition Flag
The Principality of Sealand is an independent nation. It lies seven miles off the coast of England, east of the port of Felixstowe.

It started life as a military installation in the North Sea, operated by Britain's Royal Navy, and termed "HM Fort Roughs". In 1967, Major 'Paddy' Roy Bates moved onto the abandoned installation and declared its independence as the Principality of Sealand, himself becoming Prince Roy of Sealand.

In 1968, a British court ruled that Sealand was not part of the UK - Britain had no jurisdiction there.

A team of German and Dutch mercenaries stormed Sealand in 1978, but Prince Roy was able to retake the fort.

Prince Roy passed away in 2012, having previously designated his son Michael as his successor. He became Prince Michael of Sealand on 9 November 2012.

Sealand has recently formed a national football team which competes at international level (the highlight being two 2-1 wins over Alderney), and hosts a fledgling data haven company called HavenCo.
A lot of people got to know Sealand through Hetalia, but it's a fascinating nation even without the Hetalia connection.

Don't expect to see Sealand in the World Cup any time soon - their national football team's not allowed in FIFA.

Sealandball 

Share definition Flag
(This definition is not about a word you can use in everyday use. A Sealandball is a character a user may adopt to be as, and is only that.)

A Sealandball is a countryball whose identity is the independent micronation of Sealand.

A Sealandball mustn't be confused with the countryball of Trinidad and Tobago, whose flags are similar, but are entirely different entities. Sealand's flag follows as Red, White, Black (left to right); Trinidad's follows Red, White, Black, White, Red.

A Sealandball wouldn't go into the classification of countryball, as it is a micronationball, or be differentiated to become a userball. But for the sake of simplification, it is a "countryball" - a political entity represented by a ball with two eyes.

To use, have, or be a Sealandball means you are well-versed enough in geopolitics to know about it, and for that, I applaud you.
"Which countryball will you represent?"
"I will represent Sealandball!"
"Oh, obscure!"

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
